Last updated
filename (string) : If not configured in the node, this optional property sets the name of the file to be updated. The filename should be an absolute path.
encoding (string) : If encoding is configured to be set by msg, then this optional property can set the encoding.
On completion of write, input message is sent to output port.
Each message payload will be added to the end of the file, optionally appending a newline (\n) character between each one.
If msg.filename is used the file will be closed after every write. For best performance use a fixed filename.
It can be configured to overwrite the entire file rather than append. For example, when writing binary data to a file, such as an image, this option should be used and the option to append a newline should be disabled.
Encoding of data written to a file can be specified from list of encodings.
Alternatively, this node can be configured to delete the file.
